PETA Urges Kate McKinnon To Use CGI Cats In Scripted Series Based On Netflix’s ‘Tiger King’

PETA is urging Kate McKinnon to use only CGI cats in the upcoming scripted series about Joe Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage), the now-imprisoned big-cat breeder who is the topic of the recently released Netflix docuseries “Tiger King.”

Last November, McKinnon signed on to star in and executive produce the TV adaptation of the podcast network Wondery’s “Joe Exotic” podcast, portraying a big-cat enthusiast named Carole Baskin, who learns that Maldonado-Passage is breeding and using his big cats for profit. According to UCP’s description of the potential series, “Carole sets out to shut down his venture and incites a quickly escalating rivalry. But she has a checkered past of her own, and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose her hypocrisy, and the results prove deadly.”

“Tiger King,” the documentary by Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, has been a smash hit for Netflix and on social media. The docuseries has been Netflix’s No. 1 title overall in the U.S. since Monday, per the streaming service.

Thank you for making 106.9 FM Northern Nevada’s favorite radio station for over 20 years. Originally known as “K-Reno”, in the mid-1990s KRNO adopted a focused mix of Adult Contemporary music and DJ presentation and changed its name to “Sunny 106.9”. Although that remains a key part of our identity as Reno’s “Sunny” radio station, in 2014 we increased the amount of music we play with 30-minute blocks of continuous music every workday. To highlight the change to a more music approach we adopted the additional nickname “More-FM.” So now you can call us More-FM or Sunny radio or just 106.9 – we answer to all of those! Our goal has always been to give our listeners MORE of what you like. We appreciate our heritage, cherish our listeners, and strive to keep you in a SUNNY mood and provide MORE of what you expect: “Feel-Good Music, with Less Talk” all day at work!
